Urban Design Commission | September 17, 2026

The City of Fort Worth Urban Design Commission met on September 17, 2026, to review several urban development cases and discuss updates to local form-based codes. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a waiver reducing tree preservation requirements for a multifamily development site, reflecting urban forestry considerations and easement constraints. The commission also approved a waiver for pedestrian-scale lighting requirements for a proposed two-story duplex in the urban residential zoning district, allowing the project to proceed while staff continues to work with the applicant on outstanding design and landscaping issues. Additionally, the commission received updates on the Panther Island form-based code and the Camp Buouie form-based code revisions, which aim to simplify zoning regulations, update signage standards, and align with community and economic revitalization goals. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but the code updates and project approvals will influence future development and procurement activities in the city.
